The construction of strong metal-support interactions in oxide-supported noble metal nanocatalysts has been considered an emerging and efficient way in improving catalytic performance in biomass-upgrading reactions. Herein, a citric acid (CA)-assisted synthesized ZrO layer with improved oxygen vacancy (O) concentrations on a natural clay mineral of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was designed. Moreover, AuPd/ZrO@HNTs-zCA catalysts were prepared by loading AuPd bimetal and employed for aerobic oxidation of the lignocellulosic biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) platform to the bioplastic monomer 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) with water as the solvent.
